If the alternative is going back into the office to watch it in person I will take the video.

I know someone who just had an issue, they couldn't get any screen recorder through security. This is probably a good way around that.

Well, being able to screen record a reproduction of a bug is practical, and it's easy to do it in macOS or Linux, but I'm not sure about this on Windows. Maybe a unified tool with a better integration will allow better bug reports, but pep talks by management at scale? No, thanks.

Is it easy to do on macOS if system sound is needed to demonstrate the bug?
